Yes. Very handy Graeme. I calibrated it to the garage floor and then it gave a true reading on the wheel. Very happy with that recommendation...

Just spoke to Tony. That was a mistake, copy and paste from last year. RSG could take out the Prestige group and then run up to 15.

If you are keen, reply to Tony regardless and we'll probably also canvas via RSG members for our own group

I'm in

I don't recall any talk about this so I suspect there will be little RSG presence next year apart from maybe Ron, Patsy, Richard etc.

I dropped the Turbo 3.6 off today for ride height and alignment post the new shocks. I could easily have turned onto the motorway and driven to Queenstown as she was. What a machine. She needs a road trip so I'm still keen on the Doug South Island itinerary at some stage. Maybe 2016?

I'm also keen, longer term, in shipping a car to Europe and doing the tracks there. That maybe a longer goal.

Doug. Cross post.

I thought you were all tied up around that time?

I don't think another tour could eclipse the last one. I am keen on a more sedate couple friendly tour of the South Island like the one you suggested.

Sweet! Unfortunately we will be offshore travelling in March 2015 so the SITT this time around will not work for us. I will be back for may Targa Tour and we would be keen on a SI tour of the nature discussed by Doug and John some time back if that comes about...

One week in and seen only a handful of 911's. The good news is they aren't like this last one, which is quite possibly the saddest I've seen. Frunk badge peeling off, paint cracking all over, rear seat looked liked the pursed lips of a bitter old women, one window no longer closed properly. This has not satiated my Porsche hunger.

Size:  136.1 KB The roads driven over the last couple of days have been amazing. Sections 10km~ long of fantastic twisties followed by long sweeping stretches along forested mountain sides and rivers, interspersed with tunnels and empty bridges. This place is a drivers heaven. It should also be noted that I haven't seen a single accident...

Two more weeks of warm weather left. Not really keen on going back to the hostile NZ climate.

What about doing the "tour" next March and finish with the 4 track days? Tour on Z221s or track on road tyres like I did last year. I guess this would mean taking the C4 instead of the Turbo tho unless you were happy for some sedate track days in the turbo??

March is a great time for weather but as we have an annual holiday around Easter it makes for quite a lot of time off for me at that time of year.
